Company mission
To improve EV charging accessibility in urban multi-tenant settings and ensure effective integration of EVs in our clean energy future.
Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of experience in DevOps, release engineering, or build automation, including 3+ years with large-scale distributed infrastructure and client-server architecture
- Hands-on experience with AWS ECS (Fargate and/or EC2), Docker, and container technologies in a microservices environment
- Experience deploying and managing infrastructure as code with OpenTofu or Terraform
- Strong experience with AWS and cloud infrastructure automation
- Experience with CI/CD (ideally GitHub Actions), continuous testing, and monitoring and alerting tools such as Grafana and Prometheus-compatible metrics (e.g., VictoriaMetrics)
Desirable
- Experience with Kafka-compatible streaming systems such as Redpanda or Kafka
- An AWS certification. If you don't have one yet, we're happy to sponsor your exam
- Experience working in a SOC 2 environment
What the job involves
- SWTCH is looking for a highly motivated DevOps Engineer to join our growing tech team. Reporting to the Director of Engineering, you will design, build, and optimize our AWS container platform, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code tooling
- This is a collaborative role: you'll work closely with development and operations teams to streamline deployment, testing, and software delivery, and help lead our path to push-to-deploy continuous delivery
- Develop and maintain our AWS ECS platform (Fargate and ECS on EC2), along with our existing EC2 and Docker Compose hosts
- Manage CI/CD pipelines on GitHub Actions, improving reliability and build speeds and moving us toward push-to-deploy with feature flags, canary or blue-green deploys, and automated rollback
- Collaborate with Development and Architecture teams to build highly available cloud environments, including our Traefik-based OCPP edge and self-hosted Redpanda streaming platform
- Build and extend our toolchain, including AWS (ECS, Fargate, Secrets Manager, Parameter Store), OpenTofu, and shell scripting, with Checkov, tflint, and plan checks on every PR
- Maintain and enhance automation tooling and deployment infrastructure in line with SOC 2 best practices
- Identify parts of the architecture that lack redundancy and improve reliability, including supporting our MySQL to Postgres migration
- Build monitoring, alerting, and tooling (Vector, Grafana, VictoriaMetrics, OpenTelemetry) that surfaces front-end and back-end issues as soon as they happen, including per-service SLOs and burn-rate alerts
- Write and maintain clear documentation for infrastructure and processes
Our take
The costs of future-proofing buildings in preparation for clean energy can often mount up to unsavoury heights, acting as a deterrent for commercial and multi-family building owners who are considering upgrading their buildings to meet net-zero targets. SWTCH Energy is building a solution to make these upgrades more cost-effective and energy-efficient.
Though there is a wealth of companies operating within the EV and electrical charging hardware market, SWTCH stands out thanks to its use of existing electrical infrastructure to upgrade buildings and charging ports. Working with both building managers and EV drivers, the company’s SWTCH Control intelligent load management system is a monitor for multi-residential buildings that controls the energy capacity of a building, ensuring any charging needs never exceed the limit.
SWTCH’s work with building managers to improve infrastructure has garnered the company numerous clients across North America. In 2023, it partnered with software companies Sitetracker and AutoGrid to deploy its technology on the continent. Recent funding is being used to accelerate production and AI projects, as well as to scale its charger deployments across North America.
